Very disappointed

Could not get a room until 4:30 pm and had to take any room as the room we booked would not be ready for at least another hour they said. Lots of people waiting on rooms and staff was short w customers. Some even cancelled reservations booked a new room while waiting The bed sunk to the middle like a V. Stains on the floor in multiple spots. Bath tub was clogged and had to use the hanger to help water down so I could shower after my wife. Over all very poor upkeep on this property

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property recently added a $13 a night parking fee. Except they don’t take your vehicle information or even ask if you are parking a vehicle. They just assume you are and you pay the fee. Without taking my vehicle information I am at a loss as to what I am paying for. You have no way of knowing which vehicle belongs to a guest, and which doesn’t. So your parking lot is essentially open to the public, but I am the only one paying as a guest? No thank you. The hotel restaurant was also closed the entire time I stayed, which meant their advertisement of room service wasn’t an option. Since my booking included $15 in in room drink expenses, I couldn’t use that added perk. Over all not a pleasant stay, would not recommend.

We booked two nights with a king bed and pullout couch. My adult son had intentions of giving me the bed, and he would sleep on the couch. The mattress was almost a foot too short all the way around and was literally falling apart. For the 3 hours he got to sleep, my son slept in the chair. We tried to call the service desk to report it, but guess what, our phone didn't work. The only thing good about our stay was the breakfast we ate. $15 each. We'll never stay there again.

Hotel is good for the price. Good location to downtown and MO State. Carpet was stained in lots of places and room smelled smoky to me, hence the downgrade.

Good location near the Springfield Cardinals.

One of the cleaning people whose name is Margaret was very sweet if we needed anything. The staff in the dining room were very helpful and friendly also. Other than a few minor things my stay at your hotel was good.
